PUBG - PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds Dev Tracker

Thanks for the AMA Dave! I’m on PS4 NA and can’t get enough of this game. I made the switch from mobile back when the game came to console and will never go back.

One thing I’ve seen asked by a lot of newer users who need help with console aiming/settings. Will we ever see an option for bot only rounds or training modes to help newer folks get used to gameplay before dropping in with the best and brightest of the game?

It’s probably a tired question, but a training mode even with a “bot corral” for close combat and/or long range firing would really help people learn settings, bullet drop, and leading on players running at a distance. The playerbase currently is very skilled and I’m personally happy about that, I’m moreso asking for people who are newer to the game so we can keep the playerbase growing and increase their skill level faster.

No he doesn't. If your monitor is bright enough to blind you IRL then you have one hell of a powerful monitor.

He means metaphorically blind so the cheater can't see the game since the screen's flashing.

Edit: I'm an idiot. Nevermind.

Hi, Are you by any chance planning on a Game of thrones based map, you know just imagine those horse carriages or you can have it walk only. And a Wall

1. Will you update the Pillar Guards and Commander movement, placements, and make them a bit harder to kill?

Edit: Will you add more players in Haven? The map feels like it needs at least 50 players.

1. Will you rework the whole movement system?

Platform: PC

Hi Dave,

Something has been in my mind for awhile regarding weapons. More specifically, is there any plans or thoughts on adding bayonets to some of the guns? Many of the guns in this game were war guns that would have a bayonet lug to take a blade. I worry a one shot kill my be a little over powered but a lunge doing 70% damage seems reasonable. The S1897, Mosin Negant, and K98 would have a bayonet lug.

Do you consider to add action queue, afaik it has been a highly anticipated feature over the years( Like when i press right click to ADS, just because i was in the end animation of something that ADS doesn't work) and also do you have in mind something about the way movement feels clunky. Yeah i am in control but like i am in a dream and movement feels like buffered(idk if it's the right word)

Can we expect bots to be removed when queue are healthy? What’s the point of having 20 bots if a game can be quickly filled by real players? PC player here.

why weren't major streamers like chocotaco, halifax etc in the call about future of the game? wouldn't you want the top streamers comments?

Not sure if this is still going but I wanted to ask, how much of the game focus is on lore? I'm a huge fan of PUBG lore and have read way too much into it so I've been wondering if lore is a big focus of the game or not considering the lore is so ridiculously deep for a BR game. Story guys doing amazing work

Hi,

I like the last updates with handgun support for driving and the parachute on Haven !

Do you think we are going to see ladders, zip lines or even rappel (R6 style) added to the game ?

Also I would love to see handgun support while swimming or while climbing on ladders or sliding on a zip line (like Far Cry).

Flamethrowers are traditionally a 'liquid' weapon but most games apart from Rising Storm treat them as hot air guns.

What makes the flamethrower in RS so amazing at area denial and pure power, is that the actual flame acts like a flaming liquid. So it splashes of surfaces, enemies etc. Allowing you to coat an interior from outside by simply spraying and letting the flame settle on the floor

Akin to how the pubg molotov works

Karakin has "anti-camping" features that help motivate players to keep moving (black zone, destructible walls). In contrast, Haven has features that encourage people to stay indoors (murder truck, spotlight helicopter). Will future updates/maps/modes lean more towards one way or the other? (PC/Steam)

What systems might we see implemented or changed to allow more meaningful differentiation in weapons?

Hi Dave ,

First of all , thank you for this amazing game, i am playing since 2017 and it's, for me, the best action shooter BR on the market.

The "haven" map is a killer and i want to know if you've considered leaving it playable after the end of season 10 ?
Because it's very unique and i waited so long for that kind of gameplay in your game. The chopper and pillar car add so much tension to the games. I absolutely love the ideas.

My platform is PC , thank you.

1. Which area (or areas) do you think need the most attention?
2. Do you intend to make public a high-level roadmap like we saw a couple of years ago?
3. You've met with streamers to get their perspective, will you also be doing the same with the competitive community as well?

PC - Thanks

How is your work environment? I know that us gamers screaming at you guys all the time for things like "fix this" and "I can't believe" would get very tiresome. So thankyou everyone working on this game for what you have accomplished and still listening to us while doing your best to adjust so many factors to keep us playing

Hi Dave... if there was one thing/concept/notion you could get PUBG's playerbase to understand... what would it be?

Since we have seen such an evolution of PUBG this year; my question is can we expect any new weapons or weapon attachments that might evolve the game further (ie. Grenade launcher, flamethrower attachments)?

Thanks!

I’m a day one player who can never stay away from this game for very long, nothing else comes close to satisfaction of getting a great kill, and especially a chicken dinner.

However, I do worry about the longterm viability of keeping a healthy player base. It’s a tough game to just play casually or pick up and learn. What are you plans to both ensure player retention and pick up new players?

Thanks, I play on Xbox
